Brazil's hopes looks gone with shattering bad news of Neymar's cracked vertebrae in his back. How can Brazil cover the loss of their play maker and arguably one of the greatest players in the world alongside Messi and Ronaldo? A defensive game and shut down Germany and hope to sneak a goal or play for a penalty shoot out?

Holland will win this match, but it probably won't be THAT much of an easy win!

I wouldn't take Brazil lightly, no matter what. It is going to be hard, but this is how i see it against Germany.

- Dante in the place of T.Silva, who got two yellows. Dante plays on Bayern Munich, he actually knows many of the German players. While i am a big fan of T.Silva on Paris Saint-Germain, to this match more than any other, Dante fits.

- Replacing Neymar is going to be harder, even if you don't buy the over hype around him. William from Chelsea or Bernard from Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) are both good, but what would be great is if their coach took Fred out and put them both in.
Let's be real, Germany has a solid defense and a great keeper. If Fred didn't managed to do anything until now, it is more likely he will do even less without Neymar and against an above average defense. That said, their coach looks stubborn, so he may not do this.

Just my two cents about it.


Today:
Belgium 1 x Argentina 0
Netherlands 3 x CR 1

Fred is such a poor striker, but Scolari options aren't better really.

Playing home is the reason Brazil might have a chance against Germany.    Clearly Germany has a much more talented squad than ours and so does holland.   Argentina is just as bad as us.



How on Earth a no talent hack like Fred gets a game for Brazil? A Romario, Ronaldo or Rivaldo style player from the 1994 or 2002 WC winning sides would be very handy.



The Netherlands 3-0 Costa Rica.



this is not good already drinking to keep calm
